James, If memory serves my correctly the Voice Surfer is an external modem??

I would rather just like to get Linux to work correctly with the Modem on Com3 irq2 ttys2 would be the device I know.. Some have suggested I play with minicom first to get the modem working there.. then when I have.. I can get back into Kppp and set it up. James

It doesn't matter whether you're using internal or external devices; if you're using kernel 2.2.x, you need to use ttyS*, because the kernel's done away with the cua* devices. If you're using 2.0.x, you can use cua*, but ttyS* is a better choice, because it leaves the door open for upgrades. -- Dan Brown, KE6MKS, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

If so then use the kppp dialer and under the Device tab select the cua2 not the ttys2 (cua is for and external device) I'm not sure who gave you that information, but it's decidedly incorrect. In earlier kernels, there WAS a difference between the setups done for ttyS* and cua* devices. However, cua* devices have been deprecated by the 2.2.x line of kernels -- check your logs when using them, you'll see warnings that list the application that is using the device. So please, everyone, stick to ttyS* devices and just throw cua* stuff out of your mind. I run my USR on ttyS0 and it works just fine. My understanding (admittedly rather limited ;o)) is that ttyS is replacing cua, interanl or external. Someone please correct me if I goofed. 8^) Does anyone know of any Known problems installing this modem on Linux?

Use setserial like this and you should be up and running: setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 9 IRQ 2 cascades to IRQ 9, so that's what you need to tell it to use. Once you get it running, just add the setserial line to the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it'll be run automatically each time you boot. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corp.
